From a developer standpoint you're taking someone's baby, cloning it into a language they don't understand and deprecating the original. Worse, if you're not actually interested in taking over the project you've now made it abandonware because the original developer lost heart and the person looking for commit counts on GitHub has moved on.

Obviously these extremes don't always apply, but a lot of open source relies on people taking a personal interest. If you destroy that, you might just destroy the project.

Have to agree here, you can buy a Samsung branded 4TB USB-C drive that fits in your wallet.

I doubt the copy the theater is receiving is any higher quality than a Blu-ray release though, so aside from George Lucas style editing there seems to be little value in transporting the encrypted copy unless you first have a decryption method.

My understanding is that they withheld evidence and fought a court order to turn it over. It wasn't an accident.

It sounds like crap in the theater too. when it came out there were stories about people going crazy trying to adjust sound systems.

He did it in Oppenheimer too. It's not as bad, but it's still awful.

Heroin has a pretty high user satisfaction rating too. You can't use customer satisfaction as a metric for legality.

LTT talked about this a while back.. it's because the GPU companies don't want modular GPUs.

You don't use the technical term, but you do ask.

I'm not against telemetry, I'm against making it hundreds of different hidden options.

This sounds a lot more like "Elon thinks the HR dept is a waste of money" than "Elon hates immigrants".

Eh, I grew in up Texas. I'd say most country music is still about self sufficiency (Country Boy Can Survive - Hank Williams Jr) when it comes to Law & Order with a cheeky "get away with what you can" attitude towards laws (Pretty much all of Duke's of Hazard, every song about moonshine, etc).

Country music has nearly always been somber and respectful towards people who serve in the military, and usually the police forces, because rural America is a big source of both and everyone has lost someone. Convoy by CW McCall comes to mind as another cheeky song about laws vs law enforcement itself.

hey, who doesn't want a bunker on a private pacific island?

Or you sit in the library and "read" it. Now how do you define where the library is? Many libraries loan out digital copies. You can sit in a book store (they exist!) and read a book without purchasing it too.

It's going to be difficult to use the "they couldn't possibly have had legit access to all these books" argument in court.
